Infusion therapy for alcohol intoxication and hangover
After excessive alcohol intake, the most common problems are dehydration, disturbed electrolyte balance, nausea, headache, fatigue and „fog“ in the head. At Reflex Medical Center, infusion therapy is used as medical support to help stabilize and recover more quickly under medical supervision and after an assessment of the condition.
Infusion cocktails eliminate alcohol residues in the body, restore electrolyte balance in the body and quickly relieve unpleasant symptoms such as headaches and fatigue.
When does it make sense to discuss infusion therapy?
Infusion may be considered when:
- symptoms are severe and interfere with your normal functioning
- vomiting and failing to take in enough fluids
- you have severe fatigue, headache, dizziness
- you feel a „crash“ and are dehydrated.
When IV therapy is NOT appropriate, and emergency help is needed
Seek emergency medical attention for:
- confusion, loss of consciousness, inability to wake up;
- difficulty breathing, bruising;
- convulsions;
- uncontrollable vomiting, signs of severe dehydration;
- chest pain, racing heart;
- suspicion of mixing with medicines/drugs.
How can infusion therapy help?
At the physician's discretion, the protocol may include:
- IV hydration - for faster recovery of water balance
- vitamins and microelements - support in general exhaustion
- antioxidants/supporting components - by individual plan
- medication support if needed only if medically justified and appropriate for the patient.
The goal is to help the body and the objective improvement of symptoms.
